Look, I keep hearing “unplug chargers” like that’s going to fix my bill, but nobody—literally nobody—warned me about the 40 throw pillows multiplying on my couch or the window that leaks cold air like it’s trying to sabotage me. Home Depot DIY seminar? Useless. My neighbor, who’s way too smug about her bottle vases, claims […]

Okay, so here’s the deal: every single time I sit down to craft, it turns into this wild scavenger hunt for my missing glue gun (or was it the tiny bag of glass beads? I honestly can’t keep track anymore). My rolling cart? It’s not storage; it’s a black hole. You know what actually works? […]

Here’s the thing that makes me question my entire relationship with crafting: why does everyone ignore the dirt-cheap basics? Seriously, when’s the last time you saw someone actually use a bone folder? Most people just grab a spoon and call it a day. I watched this pro at a trade show—she had a wall of […]

Last week I tripped over a DIY scented candle kit and, well, my kitchen’s been smelling like vanilla and a weird sense of accomplishment ever since. People […]

Honestly, I’m just standing here, knee-deep in this bin of fabric bits, and I’ve got zero clue why that purple corduroy is still here. Was that from a skirt? I hated that skirt. Plus, it never fit after I started eating cheese and crackers for breakfast. The scissors are, of course, missing—probably under a pile […]

Okay, so apparently I’m not the only one who’s started hoarding empty jars and digging through the recycling for “craft supplies.” Is this a midlife crisis, or did the economy just quietly collapse behind my back? I don’t know. But every time I talk to friends, they’re bragging about how they haven’t bought real craft […]
